It can be understood both literally and metaphorically, depending on the context in which it appears. The concept of lateness is significant in Scripture, as it often relates to themes of readiness, judgment, and the fulfillment of God's promises. 1. Literal Use of "Late": In a literal sense, "late" can refer to the time of day or the end of a period. For example, in the parable of the workers in the vineyard, Jesus speaks of laborers who are hired "late in the day" (<a href="/matthew/20-6.htm">Matthew 20:6</a>). This parable illustrates the generosity of God’s grace, as those hired late receive the same wage as those who worked all day, emphasizing the kingdom of heaven's values over worldly fairness. 2. Delay and Readiness: The concept of lateness is often associated with delay and the need for readiness. In the parable of the ten virgins, five are described as wise and five as foolish. The foolish virgins are unprepared when the bridegroom arrives late, and they miss the wedding feast (<a href="/matthew/25.htm">Matthew 25:1-13</a>). This parable underscores the importance of spiritual vigilance and preparedness for the return of Christ, as the exact timing is unknown. 3. God's Timing: Scripture frequently addresses the idea that God's timing is perfect, even when it seems late from a human perspective. In <a href="/2_peter/3-9.htm">2 Peter 3:9</a> , it is written, "The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." This passage reassures believers that what may appear as a delay is actually an expression of God's patience and mercy. 4. The End Times: The term "late" can also relate to eschatological themes, referring to the "last days" or the end times. In <a href="/2_timothy/3.htm">2 Timothy 3:1</a> , Paul warns, "But understand this: In the last days, terrible times will come." This reference to the "last days" serves as a call to discernment and faithfulness amidst challenges and moral decline. 5. Personal Reflection and Repentance: The notion of being "too late" is a sobering reminder of the urgency of repentance and faith. <a href="/hebrews/3-15.htm">Hebrews 3:15</a> exhorts, "Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion." This verse emphasizes the immediacy of responding to God's call, as delaying repentance can lead to spiritual hardening and missed opportunities for salvation. 6. Agricultural Imagery: In the agricultural context, "late" can refer to the latter rains, which are crucial for the harvest. <a href="/james/5-7.htm">James 5:7</a> encourages believers to be patient, "See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient until it receives the early and late rains." This imagery highlights the necessity of patience and trust in God's provision and timing. In summary, the concept of "late" in the Bible serves as a multifaceted theme that encompasses literal timing, spiritual readiness, divine patience, eschatological anticipation, and the urgency of repentance. It calls believers to trust in God's perfect timing and to remain vigilant and prepared for His purposes.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
